This exclusive event, hosted by the visionary designer Mathieu Lehanneur, the creator of the Paris 2024 Olympic Torch, promises 30 lucky attendees — 15 Airbnb experience guests and their plus ones — an extraordinary evening fusing the spirit of the Olympics and the beauty of art, all set against the backdrop of the Parisian skyline.

After admiring masterpieces by Monet, Renoir, and Degas, you’ll be whisked up to the terrace over the Seine to view this year’s Olympic torch and for cocktails by acclaimed mixologist Margot LeCarpentier. Not only is this one of the most spectacular views in Paris, but you’ll be able to watch the Opening Ceremony.

This is the first time in the Olympic and Paralympic Games history that the Opening Ceremony will be held outside a traditional stadium setting. Beginning at 7.30 PM (UTC), around 10,500 athletes will parade down the river on over 150 boats. As the parade passes, Kirou, founder of the Parisian music collective 99GINGER, will be on the decks with a live DJ set so you can dance and celebrate with your friends under the Parisian sky.
